Wellington 2040 - The Future of Our Central City

Wellington city

Wellington City Council would like your help with the development of a 30-year framework for Wellington's central city. We want to hear:

what you think about the central city
what you like or don't like about it
how it could be improved over the long term
what the priorities should be.

Individuals and organisations constantly make decisions that influence how Wellington's central city grows and changes. To help with this decision making, the Council needs to:

develop a vision of the sort of central city we all want
identify what our central city is about - its purpose, its role in the global market, and our priorities for it.

Aims & Outcomes

The Council wants to:

make sure Wellington continues to be a thriving centre for jobs, shopping, culture, entertainment, tourism and major events
celebrate Wellington's status as New Zealand's capital city
look at how we do business with our partners and how we manage infrastructure and property
look at what guidance we need to provide.

The final framework will:

provide a future vision for the central city
identify key issues and opportunities
offer a coordinated direction for investment in the central city.
